"Originality" in a replica is a balancing act between functionality, safety and appearance. For instance, I have rebuilt my ignition and boot locks to have the same key code / keys as original Cobras, yet I am running Wilwood vs. Girling brakes. I have a correct date coded DR3 wiper motor (very expensive), but a TKO600 transmission vs. toploader. I have a 482 stroker engine, but my rollbar bolt is pointing directly at the back of my skull (just like the originals). It is your car so you have to decide what feels right for you. You will figure it out...
